LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 1475

Environment, Land and Planning Portfolio - Officers

Involved as Developers

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning -

(1) Have any employees of your Department or members of their families been involved in developments of a residential nature.

(2) If so, for (a)1992-93; (b) 1993-94 and (c) to date 1994-95, how many have been "the developer" either as individuals or as part of a company or partnership, in (i) dual occupancies, (ii) broadacre development, or (iii) multiunit residential redevelopment.

(3) What are the block and section numbers for each instance at (i), (ii) and (iii) and in what section of your Department has the relevant officer worked in each case.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows -

(1), (2) and (3) Officers in my Department and every Commonwealth and ACT Government body who hold residential leases in Canberra, or wish to do so, are included in this definition. All or any one of these people could be exercising their rights in this manner.

Senior Executive Officers in my Department are required to submit an annual Declaration of Interest, which includes the disclosure of any activities of this nature. Senior Officers are asked to do the same, where they feel there may be a conflict of interest. There are no records held in respect of other staff but senior managers in my Department monitor this situation carefully.
